CEOP – Keeping Children Safe Online

At Broomwood Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of our children is our highest priority. We are committed to helping children stay safe both online and offline, and to teaching them how to use the internet responsibly and confidently.

What is CEOP?

CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command) is part of the National Crime Agency. CEOP works to protect children from harm online, including:

  • Online grooming
  • Sexual exploitation
  • Inappropriate content
  • Unsafe contact with strangers
  • Harmful or upsetting online behaviour

CEOP provides advice, education, and a way to report concerns to keep children safe.

CEOP at Broomwood Primary School

Online safety is an important part of our safeguarding curriculum and is taught regularly through:

  • PSHE and Computing lessons
  • Assemblies
  • Class discussions and workshops
  • Safer Internet Day activities

Children learn how to:

  • Stay safe when using the internet, apps, and games
  • Recognise unsafe situations
  • Protect their personal information
  • Tell a trusted adult if something worries them online

The CEOP Report Button

We have the CEOP Report Button on our website to provide a quick and easy way to report online safety concerns.

When should the CEOP button be used?

The CEOP button should be used if a child or adult is worried about:

  • Someone acting inappropriately towards a child online
  • Online grooming or exploitation
  • Being asked to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable
  • Being pressured to share images or personal information

Reports made through CEOP are confidential and go directly to specialists trained to help keep children safe.

What should children do if they are worried?

We remind children that:

  • They should always tell a trusted adult if something online makes them feel sad, scared, or uncomfortable
  • They will never be in trouble for reporting a concern
  • Help is always available

Trusted adults can include and will be found on a child's Helping Hand:

  • A parent or carer
  • A teacher
  • The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
  • Another member of school staff

Advice for Parents

We encourage parents and carers to take an active role in their child’s online life by:

  • Talking regularly about what they do online
  • Setting appropriate parental controls
  • Knowing which apps, games, and websites their child uses
  • Encouraging children to speak up if something worries them

CEOP also provides excellent advice and resources for parents and carers.
